Be it known that I, ARTURO l?. llflonnnnn, citizen of p Mexico,y residing at..Sa1i fPedro,

, Coah., Mexico, have linvented ,certain new .and .useful lmprovements in .Beateis, i of Awhich the following isa specification. y

This inventiomrelates to Ean improycd beater for beating eggs, Whipping creamor the. like, 1randseeks, among' ,other obiects, to provide a device of this character .which "will accomplishfthe beatingyoperatiqn quicli- Y,ly andleffici-ently with amin1mum of'feiifourt VThe inventionseeks, asiafurther object,

. In its preferred embodiment, the device is preferably formed entirely of aluminum and includes a cylindrical receptacle 10 rolled at its upper edge to form a surrounding bead 11 While at one side thereof, the receptacle is equipped Witha handle 12 suitably secured to the Wall of the receptacle. Closing the receptacle is a removable cover 13 from which is pressed an annular bead 14 to rest against the bead 11 of the receptacle and depending from the bead 14 is an annular flange 15 snugly fitting in the receptacle. At the top thereof, the cover is formed with a cone-shaped basin 16 terminating at its apex in a guide flange 17 disposed axially of the cover as Well as the receptacle and freely slidable through said flange is a dasher rod 18. At its upper end, the rod is` looped to `form a handle 19 and screwed 4924. iSerial'xNo. 17113847.

Thus, as Will be seen, the plate may be readily detached from the dasher head While the head may be easily detached from the dasher rod when, by removing the nut 20, the rod may be detached from the cover 13.` Accordingly, the vdevice may, Without diiiiculty, be quickly taken apart for cleaning.

In use, egg White, for instance, is placed in the receptacle 10 and the cover 13 applied,

When the handle 19 is grasped and the 100 dasher rod rapidly reciprocated. The egg White will thus be forced through the openings in the plate 24: into the dasher head and through the openings in the head with the result that the egg White will be quickly beaten to a stiff mass, When the cover and dasher may be displaced for removing the beaten mass from the receptacle. Any of the egg sticking to the rod 18 vvill be collected in the basin 16 so that Waste of the 110 egg= or smearing of the lcover 13 therewith f Ywill be" obvi-atedr. As will? be noted, the openn uponthe loiver end ofthe rod is a` nut 20 providing a stop shoulder. Removably con'- nected with the rod at its lower end is a ings in the head 21 are smaller than the openings in the plate 24. I have found this feature to be of advantage When the device is designed for use as an egg beater. To obtain the best and quickest results, the egg White must, as the head 21 is reciprocated, enter the head rapidly through the plate 24 and the plate is accordingly provided with relatively large openings, while by restricting the egress of the egg white through the wall of the head, air is caused to be mixed with the egg white as it is forced through the small holes of the head at each downward stroke of the head. However, by vary- Y ing the size of the openings in the parts 21 and 24 and the relative proportion thereof, the device may be readily adapted for use in whipping cream or mixing other fluids.

In Figure 4 of the drawings, I have illustrated a slightly dierent embodiment of the invention, wherein I employ a glass receptacle 27. This receptacle is preferably of the same shape as the'receptacle 10 and is open at the upper end thereof to receive a cover 28. The cover 2 8 is identical with the cover 13 with the exception that the cover 28 is provided with a depending annular flange 29 to lit over the upper end of the glass receptacle. Ctherwise, the embodiment of Figure 4 of the drawings is identical `with the preferred embodiment of the invention and further description is accordingly believed unnecessary.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:

1. In a ldevice of the character described, a dasher including a dasher rod, a foraminous dasher shell connected with the rod, and a removable foraminous bottom plate normally closing the shell and removable withl out disturbing the connection between the shell and rod.

2. In a device ofthe character described, a dasher including a dasher rod, a cone shaped foraminous dasher shell connected at its 3. In a deviccof the character described, a

dasher including a dasher rod, a foraminous dasher shell, means rotatably adjustable upon the rod and clamping the shell thereon, and a foraminous bottom plate carried by the shell.

4. In a device of the character described, a dasher including a dasher rod, a cone shaped foraminous dasher shell connected at its smaller end with the rod and provided at its larger end with-inwardly directed lugs, and a foraminous bottom plate resting on said lugs closing the shell at its larger end, the bottom plate being provided with a notch to freely accommodate one of said lugs therethrough whereby the bottom plate may be removed.

5. In a device of the character described, the combination of a dasher rod, a dasher shell carried thereby and provided throughout the major portion of it-s area with a multiplicity of closely spaced substantially uniform small openings, and a bottom plate for the shell provided with a plurality of openings larger than the openings of the shell.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
